jpeg stands for joint photographic experts group. it is a lossy

compression scheme where very high levels of compression can be achieved

if you aren't too choosy about the quality. essentially, you can choose

the compression ratio that gives the quality that you desire.

compression of 30:1 is achievable, more if you aren't fussy about the

result. i'll get a viewer or 2 and upload to tml - real soon now, stay

tuned. meanwhile moryak.zip is just common old gifs. next time i'll make

it easier on the telephonically challenged (:
